It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.

If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.

Every great improvement has come after repeated failures. Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

If I want to stop a research program I can always do it by getting a few experts to sit in on the subject, because they know right away that it was a fool thing to try in the first place.

The price of progress is trouble.

An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots.

I don't want men of experience working for me. The experienced man is always telling me why something can't be done. The fellow who has not had any experience is so dumb he doesn't know a thing can't be done - and he goes ahead and does it.
